How John Kiely, Paul Kinnerk and Caroline Currid built Limerick's hurling dynasty

Former players reveal how trust, clarity and emotional intelligence became the foundations of Limerick's unprecedented decade of success

HOLY TRINITY: Paul Kinnerk, Caroline Currid and John Kiely.

IT'S 10 years now since they came together to form the most remarkable Paul-and-John tandem since Lennon and McCartney decided they could no longer work it out and to just let it be.

Exactly a decade ago this week TJ Ryan stepped down as Limerick manager and as a leading candidate to succeed him John Kiely recognised any proposed coaching ticket of his had to include Paul Kinnerk, a Limerick man whose run with the Clare hurlers also finished up that month.
